My Bio
I grew up in a small town in central Arkansas. I am 26-years-old and I have wanted to be in the movie business since I was 13. This will be the first film I have produced, but I have been in 7 movies so far and in October, I will have my first supporting role in a movie that will be made in Los Angeles, CA. I was diagnosed with having Chronic End Stage Renaal Disease when I was 13-years-old. I was placed on Kidney Dialysis for 11 hours a day for 2 1/2 years. During this time I could not go anywhere, so I started watching movies so that I would have something to do while I was hooked up to this machine. This is when I started taking a big interest in wanting to be in movies. My favorite actor of all time is Billy Bob Thornton and I hope to meet him someday.
Why are you supporting The 1 Second Film project?
I am looking forward very much to being a producer and helping a great cause. Thank you.

If you had to choose a 'perfect moment' from your life to make into a one-second film, what would it be?

If I could choose one perfect moment to make into a one-second film, it would be when I got my Kidney Transplant, the day before my 15th birthday, that saved my life. My birthday is April 9th, and on April 8, 1996, I received my new Kidney. This was the best present I have ever received. This has given me a new lease on life. I have had my new Kidney for 10 years, and I am now in Chronic Rejection and will have to go back on Dialysis and have another Kidney Transplant within 1-2 years. I want so very much to be in as many movies as I can before this happens, and I also want to be involved in movies in any way I can.
